Published by a notable 19th century French publisher, this map is full of the style, accuracy and innovation that brought the French to prominence. This attractive steel engraved map is full of the detail and textured work that made 19th century French cartography the best. Interestingly while this map is hand colored, there is a printed color layer that features all the roads and major cities in a strong red. This was an innovation that wouldn”t catch on until 40 years later. Condition is good.
